Well, from what I was told, MOTHMAN was in the lab and messed up the defamator. You got a BAD problem when the defamator gets messed up. Mothman don't want anyone to find his home planet, and so WHAM... destroyed the defamator. Take it from me... I'm from West Virginia... I know ALL about Mothman ! (Not real good with defamators though.) :p Happens at the GBT all the time !!! |

Following the weekly outage, the new work-experience kid was asked to go and switch everything back on, but was faced with the following POST message: No keyboard present... Press F1 to resume Brian. |

There was a campus-wide power cut, but someone had forgot to refill Mr Fusion, the labs backup power supply. |

Matt & band were in the studio recording a cover of the famous 1976 supergroup The Blue Oyster Cult, when a tragic catastrophic failure of the cowbell array occurred...

Who decided to use MS EXCEL for statistics? This would of course sometimes explain the unexplainable behaviour of this project and nobody knows why. As MS assumes the year of 1900 is a leap year, this would produce leaps in the project! Rolf BTW: in my former life I used to be a comedian, but now i'm writing error messages for MS. |

Nah - it was most certainly those toe chewing raccoons. However theories that raccoons are the only thing that scares Eric are unfounded now (although they were true until recently) But after his trip to Finland he is now absolutely terrified of mosquitoes and gnats. The very sound of their incessant buzzing sends him into a mad fit of panic. During one of these fits he inadvertently uttered that most fateful of phrases, that phrase which must never be uttered, or written down. A phrase so fearful and BAD that it upset the highly nervous Seti at Home servers, they started to gibber with fear in their closet, and once that gibbering had started the only thing that can possibly stop it is to recant that phrase in reverse, not only in word, but also in pitch and tempo. The trouble is Eric, due to his great fear of the sound of the gnats and mosquitoes (which sounds remarkably like that of an errant air chiller unit) he can't recall the exact phrasing of the phrase. It is hoped by a bit of delicate reverse engineering to be able to reassemble the phrase, in reverse order from the sound absorbed into the lab walls during Eric's outburst.....

All of you guys are WAAAAAAYYYYYY off on what happened. I hope you all mean your replies as jokes or you are all fools. Everybody knows that the EXACT time and day this happened was the 4,641st anniversary of the aliens bringing us the technology of the pyramids. And when it happened Eric and the other CIA....err I said too much. Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |
